"As of now, we don't have enough details of him. Hasan has played in Lebanon and Syria in the past. We were looking for a player in Syria, since the domestic tournaments have been postponed there due to political unrest. It would have been a cheaper coup for us. Now, Eelco (Schattorie) will have a look at him at first, and if he can impress the coach, we are going to sign him up," Nabab told.
